    Gosh this thread is a hard read at times. For those of you so dissatisfied at Warne, the style of football etc, genuine question. Did you not get any enjoyment from scoring a near last minute goal and the amazing atmosphere that it created in the ground? Did you not enjoy the celebrations amongst the players and fans at the end of the match? Did you not enjoy the infectious enthusiasm of Adams interview afterwards? Didn't you enjoy getting three points and remaining second in the league? Because it honestly feels like none of this brings you any joy, and I find that hard to understand.

    Just listened to the Gaffers post match interview. Really honest and thoughtful. He clearly cares for his players and loves the Club. Well done Paul and thanks for all you are doing to get promotion despite the wrist slashers constant carping and sniping, mainly from Sunday league arm chair experts.

    We clearly didn’t have the money to compete with other rival clubs for transfers, that or we refused to pay over the odds for Smith or Gregory. Selling Bird wasn’t in the plan unless we got a good offer which we did and we’ve got him for the season, I would hope we can use that money in the summer.
    How in any way is this down to Warne?. People will say Ward Bradley Fornah (although most were supportive of those transfers at the time), I will raise you Hourihane Smith Collins Mendez Laing Barkhuizen who I would bet any money will be in the top 5-10 earners at the club, none signed by Warne and of them people only want Mendez (although I also like Collo). However it is dressed up we’re still being restricted by an EFL business plan. We should hopefully have wriggle room in the summer (unless this really is the limit of Clowes spending in which case we potentially have some issues).
    They tried but ultimately we go with what we’ve got. Overall we’re stronger than when we started the window. Washington just needs stay fit and be our second striker to Collo. In fairness he was starting to look good when he got injured.
    You’d be fools to write us off. I remember 2015 January window, we were top 2 and signed Bent Ince Lingard De Sart and we were thinking what a window we’ve just nailed promotion. Look how that turned out - we didn’t even make the playoffs!

    What a ridiculous thing to say.  He’s saying how it is and you’ll use anything as a stick to beat him with.  It’s just the situation we are in and working within our business plan.

    Our midfield is nonexistent, Collins is no goalscorer, just gets lucky often, Bird hides all game long, Warne is not fit for Sunday league, we won in spite of our players.
    Am I doing this right?

    andyburton72 reacted to Crewton in Does Warne deserve the vitriol aimed at him?   
    If you'd heard him talk about JJ after his injury last night, you might change your view that he's a "fake". Some times he does come across as flippant but then so did some of the greatest managers in the history of English football, and he's nowhere near as dismissive or condescending as some of them. Even opposition fans find his post-match interviews refreshing : he might temper his criticism of his own team's performance, but he never denigrates the opposition or fails to give them credit.
    The sense of entitlement I get from some of our fans comes from a different planet to the one I come from - I'll never agree with it, hence I will disappear from time to time just to get away from it. Allot of the criticism and questions raised by the more thoughtful posters is absolutely fair, but so many have now put the recent past struggles behind them, almost as if it's a trauma they want to bury, that they seem incapable of measured opinions.
    In summary, I never believed that Warne was the Messiah, but he's not a naughty boy either and I wish that those who will never accept him would at least tone down the abuse.

    There's a striker in league one banging them in - very experienced at a much higher level

    has started 17 league games and has 10 league goals this season

    according to some 'fans' is one of the worst strikers we've had at the club,

    scored 12 goals last season to assist with McGoldrick

    yep he's still good enough, not out of contract in a couple of weeks, and yes we already have him - James Collins

    I think they played like Paul Warne wants us to play.
    6 points from the last 3 teams we've played is more than good enough for me. Let's go again against some of the poorer teams now.

    andyburton72 reacted to Srg in Derby v Peterborough   
    Let’s be real about that. They were the best side we’ve seen in this league over this season and last. We didn’t deserve 3 points, and we barely deserved one. 
    I applaud Warne for recognising the battering we were taking and changing formation first half and then personnel at the half. It stemmed it somewhat, but we always looked ropey every time they came forward. 
    They have everything we don’t going forward and that’s the blueprint for our transfer business. Too slow and static 
    No excuse for those final two goals though. Tragic defending and goalkeeping.

    "Technically", that was a first class away day job done by all involved.
    A tad disappointed we didn't capitalise more on our first half superiority.
    And in fairness, that nervy last 20 minute watch was based more on history than what was actually happening on the pitch, but that doesn't make it any less nervy.
    Still... correct score on the prediction thingy, another 3 points on the board, and Pompey, we really are coming for you.
    Happy Boxing Day, fellow Rams.

    andyburton72 reacted to Mostyn6 in 1st July 2022 - The day Derby County last made me cry   
    https://clowes.co.uk/2022/07/01/breaking-news-clowes-developments-takeover-derby-county-football-club/
    July last year, it was announced that David Clowes had bought Derby County. Saving the club from disappearing into the ever-growing abyss of crushed football clubs.
    I cried that day. I didn't think it was bothering me that much. As an adult in his mid-40s, I found myself resenting the amount of money I've "squandered" following Derby County around the country. I can probably count all the enjoyable moments as an adult on my fingers and toes, but there are plenty of bleak and miserable memories, from watching Jim Smith's magic-touch fade, Colin Todd's reputation dwindle, John Gregory's over-confidence implode, Phil Brown trying to reinvent the wheel, Paul Jewell signing everyone he could, to Nigel Clough being too negative to try and win. That's before Uncle Mel came along with his mad rollercoaster.
    A few years ago I decided to squander my money on playing Golf badly instead of football, beer, gambling and a curry every Saturday, that made me think I was detached from it all, that I'd cut the ties that only a few years earlier had me desperately scrambling for away tickets for 0-0 draws at places like Preston on a Boxing Day!
    I'd consider myself an armchair radio/TV fan nowadays, and my stress level and general health has been much better. 
    I no longer live in Derby/Derbyshire, which has left me further detached from the club and fellow Rams fans. But from this forum over the last few days, I'm feeling some real rage towards Warne, and maybe even Clowes. It's worse that any time on this forum. Even Pearson had more support! 
    Am I the only one who, whilst disenchanted with performances, and perhaps football in general, doesn't really feel Warne needs sacking?
    Or am I still just glad we have a club to talk about?
    I think some of the people so enraged by Warne could do with taking a step back and a deep breath.
    AS for Clowes, he jumped into Shark-infested waters to drag us back onto the muddy bank, shame on anyone critical of a man who had no ambition to own DCFC, only duty.
    Disgruntled fans could do with finding a way to contribute to the growth of the club, not the demise.

    The reason I believe it's mostly young fans is because i cannot think that any supporter of reasoned mind that would think the owner should sack Warne at this current time.
    It doesn't make any financial sense whatsoever and fortunately, our owner knows this.
